One of the best ways I can think of to spend $30.
Congratulations, Merg. I'm really looking forward to seeing the book and giving it as a gift.
Lovely image, Steve. I really like its high key nature.
I second Thom's comments. I highly recommend the Kodak Master. In addition, I like the large knobs and much prefer the position of the fine focus on the side of the rear standard instead of at the...
That was my favorite part of the exhibit.
When I asked if I could take photos, I simply said "I'm not Wasserman," and they said ok. ;)
Like you surmised, I'll bet it's like photography at rock concerts - too hard to police everyone. Times...
Photography was permitted at the Stieglitz exhibit and at the photography exhibit on the main floor, including the photographs themselves. I asked, so maybe it's not a hard and fast rule. I was one...

One of my favorite quotes regarding my profession and hobbies.

Very nice.
Thanks Mark. Nice article.
Not a technique I'd recommended for models. :p

Beautiful. Great composition.
Well said, and well done.
Serious indeed. I wish my mistakes were this nice.
You may have missed the focus a smidge, but you certainly got the photo. Lovely.
Dang that's nice, Serge.
Bravo.
Another vote for Majestic. I picked mine up off craigslist for roughly half of what you have budgeted.
I agree with Garrett. You have many options at a range of price points. The first question is probably whether you will shoot wet plate exclusively or whether you want a camera that can shoot film...
Hi Jon,
I recently shot my first 8x10 wet plates under the excellent tutelage of Kerik Kouklis. I own an 8x10 Kodak Master (aka Kodak Masterview, KMV) and, from what I can tell, it's very well...
I feel the same, Jonathan.
Whatever it is, it's really nice.
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing how you did it.
Powerful portrait.
Well said.
Wonderful photo.
Sweet portraits.
Wonderful.
The closeup of the grill is especially nice. Thanks for posting them, Jim.
Wow that's a fantastic photo, Vaughn.
Thank you. I'll pass your suggestion to the gallery.
I really like the way you framed him with the posts and the look of the out of focus areas.
Fortunately the less stiff head ends up moving just fine with the 8x10 on it, as there is enough weight to keep the setup from moving while using the crank. However, you're undoubtedly correct about...
Thanks Leigh, I'll give it a shot. Neither of the heads has much grease on the worm gear, but neither is dry.
What concerns me is that even the friction tilt is very stiff on the one head, even...
I have a couple nice Majestic gear heads that require a bit too much effort to turn the crank for the tilt. Does anyone have experience on how to open and grease them properly so that they operate...
